I liked Iran way better in the 70,s as the country was a lot more colorful.

People especially the women and young girls used to wear colorful clothes

and smile a lot more, or at least their faces were visible to see the smiles.

Today I see groups with a lot of black, and covered faces, what a shame.

I also seen a change in the Iranian mens attitudes. I think they have become

macho and hard to be around,especially if you happen to be a woman visiting

the country. Shameful to me, but then I am a Geezer with

a red neck.

I hope these little thugs get some jail time. Go in with butts like this . and come out with them like this O.

Rotten little jerks all deserve a rude awakening and some of the tough love that jails can provide.

I hope that this new bunch of boats will intercept the dingies and boats enroute from

Libya and other North African places and just take the people back to Africa. Make it plain that

trying to pay to escape that country is finished, and is a waste of money. Europe as well as Greece and Turkey

do not need any more of migrants and refugees invading Europe. Maybe Germany and a few other countries in

Europe need new leaders.

My opinion on this subject

Unfortunately SE Asian is still where many people go to have short time relationships.

Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and soon Burma as its tourism business

gets more popular. I do hope this braggart gets some jail time and maybe meets big Bubba.

help help!

I wonder how many expats of other countries are living in Thailand?

I hear about people of all ages dying all over the world, not alone a bunch

of people older than me in Thailand. When I used to visit Phuket several years ago

I noticed there was some fellows that died by driving over the cliff and off the road between

Karan and Patong beaches. I drove the road a few times and it seems to be in better shape

as I have not heard about as many deaths in the past few years.

I hope I can still afford to visit Thailand a few more times in the next 10 years as I still have

very enjoyable visits to the country.

I will be a happy man, when there are no more Red shirts or Yellow shirts, as groups in

Thailand. I like wearing a yellow shirt on Mondays, and blue shirts on Friday, but that is

to respect the Royal Family. It will be a happy day for all when Thailand is a stable

country and is finished with these troubles of today.

I am fortunate that I got to see many places over 20 years ago when they were a lot cheaper

and pristine. I still enjoy seeing some places but do not like paying up to 10 times the price the

locals pay to visit. Thailand was quite a bit cheaper 15 to 20 years ago, and I still remember

paying 10 dollars US per night for a nice room with A/C only 2 blocks from the beach in Phuket.

My last visit there the room was 1100 baht per night and it was 1 km away from the beach,

how times have changed.

I am glad that I am only a tourist that goes and enjoys 1 to 4 months in Thailand.

I still enjoy my visits, but I am just as glad to not live too long in Thailand for now.

Maybe in another 8 to 10 years, but for now I am content to be a tourist.

I just wish I could stay in Thailand up to 3 months without needing a visa.

It is such a shame to see all of those starving people who were trapped in their

homes and shelters, but unable to escape from Syria. They should all be placed directly on

Assads shoulders as his fault for their plight. Assad should be thrown in jail for this

alone, and not just for all of the other war crimes that he is responsible for.

Not only this ISIL group of terrorists need eliminating, but all of the terrorist groups. Al Qaeda Boko Haram, Taliban, and the others all need total elimination. I do not expect this to happen in my life time , but I am hoping that when the children are in their 60s, most of these groups will be all dead or in hiding for their miserable lives. One can only dream .

I just hope they get the ship to some kind of port intact. Too many ships end up crashing on rocks and

creating huge oil spills. Impressive to get on this ship in the condition it is presently in.

I still hope that Donald Trump does good in the next bunch of voting states. I am wondering what he will do now

with his campaign, will he tone down his R*d neck persona a bit? Will he try to show more of is intellect

and be a bit more serious about getting elected? I still like watching this election run as it has been very

entertaining.

Geezer.

Thank you, Never Sure for the picture that you posted. I have seen a few pictures that people from Europe

took of the tents and garbage, and left boxes of food and drinks left by the mass of these so called refugees. I also seen a few pictures of the mobs of young men, but tons of pictures of women and children. I have always wondered why there was so many men in these groups. Do these young men not want to fight for their country? Do they want to go to Europe and let other countries fight the Daesh bunch of terrorists for them? My father and uncles fought in WW2 and Korea and I am very proud of all of them. I certainly ;would not be proud of any of these single young men who I see in the groups of the migrant horde that moved from Greece and Turkey into Europe.

I am sure glad the pilot was able to land the jet after that explosive.that that caused the hole in the window that is an impressive hole, caused by what ever did it. Must have been a lot of scared people on that flight.

It seems as though some one does not have a very nice mother in law.

I have 3 sister in laws, that are in that catagory, but I would not go find a gun to

get rid of them. I am more civilized, I would hire one of my biker buddies to

do it. ha ha only kidding. These hunting accidents happen all over the world where people

hunt. I certainly know it happens most years in Canada and the USA.

Hunting accidents happen all over the world, especially in the USA and Canada. In British Columbia, or B.C. one hunter

from Alberta shot a member of the hunting party. It likely was from a sound shot, or when the hunter heard a sound

in the forest he shot at the sound, striking his hunting partner. I got shot at 20 years ago in the same manner. I shot my

rifle into a tree a couple of times and the other hunter left the area in a hurry. In the USA, there are hunters in the eastern

states shot almost every hunting season. The main way to not shoot someone, is to make sure that what you are shooting

at is the animal that you are hunting for. It should be then main thing taught in hunting courses, and I do not think that this

is stressed by too many people. I guess this is the main reason that I gave up on shooting big game, I only go after game birds now

like grouse, partridge and ducks. Now that I am a geezer I do not go hunting nearly as often as I did in my 50s, but life

goes on.

I wonder how much longer this refugee, migrant situation will continue?

It would be nice if the media of he countries covering this situation would help,

put the people smugglers in jail. I would also like to see more of the stories in the news

show the actual situation, and not some heart jerk pictures and fabricated stuff that

is supposed to make us feel sorry for these people that are running to cold and

Wintery Greece and Europe, when they would be better to go to another hotter and

Muslim country to wait out the civil war in Syria, and the continued battles in Iraq.

I have read that there some of these migrants that are already leaving Germany once

they have found that it is not easy to live in Germany, and times are getting tougher in

that country. It is the media's responsibility to get that part of the story out to the

people who are getting lied to by these people smugglers and their supporters.

I hope the ISIL group of terrorists are driven out of Iraq, then surrounded in Syria and

bombed until they are all gone. This Daesh bunch of animals do not deserve to exist

on Earth.

Tourists pay more than the Thailand people for visiting most places. THis is just another lazy

way to get the tourist dollars.

If Thailand wants more tourists, then let the ones who actually come to Thailand stay longer without

gouging them with visas if they want to stay more than thirty days. A lot of countries now

let visitors stay for up to 90 days with out needing a visa.

I have wondered if these terrorists like ISIL, Al Shabaab, Al Qaeda

the Taliban and others will just keep going to failed countries like Libya

and Tunisia, and others if they can not get their way, and their dreamed of so call Islamic States in Syria and Iraq? I hope the world will keep at the effort to make these gangs

become small and manageable in the future, or we will have these battles go one the rest of

our lives.

I hope that more of this kind of news story is told. That Germany is only an

European country with its own problems. Germany is not a Paradise either, as no country really is. Europe is not a paradise and neither is Canada or the USA. or even Australia.

Every country has good and bad qualities, as well as good and bad weather, and

good and bad economies. It is too bad that it will take even longer for these migrants

to get the message, as that means the people smugglers will continue to make their

blood money for a while longer.

Another story that is filled with tragedy. I do feel sorry for these people suffering in the Winter weather.

I do not feel sorry for all of those young looking men who are running away from their country, and

not fighting for their lives. I think this situation is only going to get worse, as the people smugglers are

still bringing even more people to Greece, and Turkey, and more people are going to die before the Winter is over.

It is too bad that there is not some warmer place in the Middle East where these people could go and stay

and be safe until at least they can go back to where they are from. The idea of them all going to somewhere in

Europe is the worst solution as Europe is already not doing well in a lot of their country and these extra

refugees and migrants will do more harm than help to Europe. That is my opinion at least.

I agree that the world should see a more honest reporting from all of the media, and not the heart ache

pictures and partial stories that we get to hear and read about.

This is another tragedy and I feel so sorry for the 4 people who were killed.

I feel very sorry for the teachers who were killed and who were up in the north to educate the

students. These teachers being young and likely pretty new to the area and the school sure did

not deserve to die in this manner. The shooter being 17 years old, makes me wonder if he will get

tried for this murders in adult court, or juvenile court. For this horrible crime I do hope the killer

gets sentenced as an Adult, as in Canada, it is bad enough that we do not have the death penalty any

more, but Adult age being considered over 18 is not fair at all, especially in cases like this.

Just my opinion of course and I am a Geezer.

I doubt that the world will ever see and end to the conflict

with Israel and Palestine. There is too much hatred, and it has lasted

so long that even the children are hating at an earlier and earlier age.

It is sad to heard that someone as young as 13 has been

killed. It would be nice if the people of this region could work out a

solution, but I certainly can only wish for a miracle, as that is likely what it

will take for the Israel and Palestine people to be at peace with each other.

Some details are not even thought of. For instance. Did this chap mix

viagara and booze, or the other enhancer, or another exotic mixture, that

may have been too much for his heart? What ever the cause, if I die

during a tryst, I would be happy as there are much more lonely ways to

die and I would rather die happy. RIP. Kiwi

P.S. it is a Kuala that does as an earlier commenter stated, eats, shoots, and leaves., but thanks for the brief

chuckle.
